Dear Mark
you said in answer to -pbc nojump that using of new xtc file for
analysis section depends what one wants to observe.
what observations is relevant to periodicity?
Anything that measures where something is relative to another. Normally
one is only interested in the nearest periodic image. IIRC, some of the
GROMACS tools are PBC-aware and determine the nearest suitable for
themselves, other times they treat the trajectory as if there were no
periodicity. In the latter case, if your results will be sensitive to
the actual locations of atoms with respect to the periodic cell, then
you'll wish to use trjconv to choose the configuration best suited to
your needs. In the analysis desired the original post, the waters should
all be in the same cell as the DNA+protein interstice, hence centering
the cell on that group, and putting all waters into the cell.
